Ingredients

Switch to Cup Measures
  • cm gnocchi (I just used ready-made stuff and bought a pack big enough to serve 4 - I had some sauce left over)
  • 3 small red peppers
  • 500 ml pumpkin (fresh, in pieces)
  • 200 grams feta cheese
  • 750 ml vegetable stock
  • ½ onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (halved or chopped roughly)
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 handful fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon of dried basil)

Method

  1. Roast peppers in a 200 degree Celsius oven for 10-15 mins or until skins start to darken. Remove from oven and seal in a plastic bag until cooled. Peel skins and chop flesh into strips or pieces.
  2. Meanwhile boil pumpkin pieces with 2 cloves garlic in vegetable stock until soft. Drain and reserve about ½ cup of stock.
  3. Melt butter in saucepan, add chopped onions and let sweat for a couple of minutes, add pumpkin and capsicum and stir until pumpkin starts forming pulp.
  4. Add stock to make a think sauce consistency. Add crumbled feta At this point I use a handheld chopper/mini-mixer to chop the peppers and mix all together in the saucepan while stove still on - ends up a creamy orange/red sauce. (A food processor would work too - but be more messy!) Add salt, pepper and basil to tast.
  5. Boil gnocchi in pot of salted water.
  6. Drain gnocchi and add sauce and serve.
